Eating dinner & clapping like mad for Alysa Liu - what an incredibly lovely performance. Brightened my day!! I love the #Olympics! #figureskating

Flock of #datacenter bills headed to committee 2/17 at the #sdleg - some good, some bad. Read for more info ➡️https://www.facebook.com/dakotaruralaction/posts/pfbid026E1eQvZsLxXW1iVq4xZ8uk6K7Q5UeGGsM54cHrk2vjfLeuy9fRv2Dx1SQuxH4QH1l

And #datacenter proponents wonder why we keep fighting them???

Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out, Tricia apple.news/AxvBZrt1wQR6...

Shout out to the women’s half pipe finals - fantastic competition! Congrats to gold medalist Choi Ga-on of South Korea & to silver medalist & all around class act Chloe Kim. That was beautiful to see. #olympics

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

First of all, all this nonsense about not being able to understand the words during Bad Bunny’s halftime show must not remember 90s grunge music - the mumbling! I love that genre to this day but let’s be honest, ain’t none of us knew the lyrics to Yellow Ledbetter

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Ramos' parents, originally from Ecuador, were set for their asylum hearing in late Feb. DHS abruptly moved it up to THIS MORNING. They are not in the U.S. illegally and have no criminal record. DHS is simply trying to end their asylum claims.

There are still 4 children from this school district being held by ICE in Texas?? Unacceptable. Bring them home!

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

The Trump administration's deployment of troops to 5 different U.S. cities last year cost roughly $496 million through the end of December. Keeping Guard forces deployed at the same levels as late December could cost about $93 million per month going forward www.cbsnews.com/news/troop-d...

MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident.

👏👏👏💚

NEW from me: Liam Ramos should bring the Trump administration to its knees www.thebulwark.com/p/liam-ramos... via @thebulwark.com

Republicans set fire to the 1st and 2nd Amendments for Donald Trump. Masked agents murdering civilians and arresting journalists aren't things that happen in America, until now.

South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden criticized "people jumping to conclusions and then standing their ground and making absurd statements based on conjecture." That sounds like a description of his predecessor, #KristiNoem, writes @sethtupper.bsky.social. Commentary:

Thankfully cooler heads prevailed over this nonsense

Do we finally get to see his tax records?

Now do this but for murder

Hmm one might surmise that there is a connection

A recently surfaced internal federal report issues dire warnings about the future of the agency's recreation infrastructure. After spending the 2025 field season volunteering on the Shoshone National Forest, Lander men Del Nelson and Bill Lee vouch for the report's validity.

He says Iceland instead of Greenland twice in this speech. Does he know the difference? Should Iceland be worried? Ok they probably already are…

I told both of my senators, Thune & Rounds, that this was a risk with DOGE & social security only to be poo-poo’d by their response. I informed you thusly

Pretty sure this is not what Roxette had in mind when they released Listen to Your Heart back in ‘88.

The state may be rushing to give #tax incentives to #datacenter companies but local residents in Deuel County are not convinced that industrialization is the right move app.publicnewsservice.org/story/in-sd-...?

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

Don’t serve these bastards!

ICYMI - Lakota people are being held hostage by #ICE at Fort Snelling. DHS won’t release them w/o an “immigration agreement.” Who’s the immigrants here? The Lakota people have been for thousands of years.

Tech firms have pledged to combat AI-generated child pornography—but new data shows the problem is exploding beyond control, @matteowong.bsky.social reports:

The Lakota & Dakota people have been here, on this land, since time immemorial. They are being held hostage by ICE www.wjtv.com/news/nationa...

The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.

The muted response to the undressing of women and children by Elon Musk’s Grok is the latest symptom of a culture of impunity—and a chance to address that culture head-on, @cwarzel.bsky.social and @matteowong.bsky.social argue.

MN Gov Walz is standing in front of the US flag & MN state flag, like any state governor would in their state. Mr. Doeden’s warnings about hanging a MN state flag in SD are utterly inane.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

#CCS isn't working at scale so please stop trying to sell it to #rural America as a revenue-generator or economic development. It's not a #climatesolution & it's a waste of #taxdollars carbonherald.com/chevrons-gor...

Today in @southdakotasearchlight.com DRA member Brooke Manca urges #transparency around #datacenter developments before they're built. The pros & cons must be weighed seriously with public participation southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/01/06/w...

Great to see this level of local engagement! In case the local legislative reps & county commission missed this - residents are stakeholders too. #localcontrol #civicengagement

The Wyoming Supreme Court ruled Tuesday two bans passed by state lawmakers are unconstitutional. The decision represents a major victory for abortion rights advocates in one of the nation's reddest states. Read more and stay up to date ➡️ wyofile.com/abortion-rem...
